Unhooking malwares tests
Rated • 1 review • security, tests, hips • lycos.fr
More interesting tests by NicM. This time seven malware that are known for "unhooking" abilities (a new breed of malware designed to beat HIPS) are tested against some HIPS.
" These malwares are then very dangerous, not only because they can bypass programs that are supposed to block them, but because once they're installed, nothing abnormal is showing on the system protected by an HIPS which was bypassed : If the HIPS was killed, the program interface is still showing its status as 'OK', 'running', leaving the user in a false sense of security (thinking he is protected, although he isn't)."
A short summary of results
1st : ProSecurity 1.30 7/7 - Excellent
2nd & 3rd tie : AntiHook 3.0 and Online Armor 2 6.5/7 - Very Good
4th : Dynamic Security Agent 3.5/7 - Average
5th-7th tie : EQSecure 3.3, Process Guard 3.410 and System Safety Monitor 2.4.0 3/7 - Poor
8th : Prevx 2 2.5/7 - Poor
9th : CyberHawk 2.0.4 1.5/7 - Very Poor
10thth : Primary Response SafeConnect 2.1 > 0 on 7 > None
My comment: Poor results with cyberhawk, Prevx,Primary response were expected. On the other end good results with ProSecurity was as well.
Disappointed with results with SSM,EQsecure. We already knew DSA was not bad in prior test.

Dynamic Security Agent : Malware Tests
Rated • 1 review • review, freeware, security, hips • lycos.fr
A through review and test of freeware HIPS Dynamic Security Agent (DSA). Tester manually executes and runs 80 well chosen malware (rootkit,worms, backdoors and special "HIPS killer" malware) and see how DSA reacts.
Each sample is tested twice. First by allowing it to install fully and checking how well DSA copes with resisting it after installation (simulating a totally clueless user) and secondly by checking to see if DSA can stop it from installation at various points.

The pro version is probably the most comprehensive Host Intrusion Prevention system out there. But it is very intrusive to use with lots of prompts (particularly if your base line keeps changing due to software updates and new installs), and only Power Users and above who are comfortable with computer security terms and have the patience to answer almost countless prompts will probably use it. The free version has less features, but the free version of SSM (System Safety Monitor) has more features.

I haven't had the time to test it yet, but it looks very impressive, easily on par (and more) with the likes of payware SSM Pro and Prosecurity in terms of features.
